Thankyou to....
SisterFriend - yes, I picked Takashi =D=D=D
Kuramasredredrose- veeryone could do with and ego boost. And yeah, when i was writing chapter 4 something, I decided... you know what, I think Takashi is more Saori's type. so up till then i had the Kyouya fluff and i don't fancy editing 15 chapters of Kyouya x Saori stuff outa there XD
SassyLou- Sarah... stop stalking me...
"Um, Renge... last time you categorized people, it didn't turn out well."
I was completely ignored, and soon she had Shiro running around the room, tripping him up and then making him be a total douche to her as his 'line'.
Tamaki and the twins thought it was cool the way she 'coached' (abused) him, Kyouya was taking notes and Haruhi looked shocked. I got Mori to put me down, and I hobbled over to the kid.
He was picking himself up off the ground, looking horrified at what he'd just been made to do.
"Shiro, you okay?" I had crouched next to him, and pushed back some of his bangs.
"They're idiots, all of them." he muttered, keeping his eyes off me.
"I know, but ignore them. Can I ask why you want to learn all of this so badly though?"
For the first time, his eyes actually met mine. His were a steely blue/gray, and they looked hurt.
"It doesn't matter... it's too late." he muttered, then he smacked his fist into the floor.
"I've had enough of you people! This is so stupid, non of this is ever gonna help me make her happy..." and with that he ran off.
"Shiro..." I shouted after him, as did Tamaki, but he ignored us and kept running.
I narrowed my eyes and turned to face Renge and Tamaki.
"Happy now? You just hurt that little kid and now he's upset. Obviously he didn't give us the full story, and you just wasted his time. I'm gonna go see if I can find out what's wrong..."
I heaved myself up, with help from Mori, and I started to limp out on my own.
"Where do you think you're going?" asked Hikaru.
"You'll never get far with that gimp leg of yours..." continued Kaoru.
I growled and faced them.
"Look, I don't care. But I don't just sit here and leave someone who is blatantly upset."
Mori was by my side and he picked me up.
"You're not going anywhere, yet."
Haruhi was talking, and I caught the last part of her sentence.
"-Maybe, it's a girl."
Tamaki flashed me a grin and winked.
"I have a plan!"
* * *
"This is stupid."
We were stood behind some doors while Haruhi and Honey walked down the hall. Honey was in an elementary school uniform, and he did look like a little kid. But then Haruhi was in a middle school uniform and I didn't see the point.
"She looks like a little doll!" squeaked Tamaki.
"Pervert..." I muttered to no-one in particular, but Mori heard me and grinned.
They walked in a classroom to the left, and the guys followed. Obviously because I was clinging onto Mori's back, I had to go too.
"Wow, this takes me back." said the twins.
"I wonder if doodles are still on my desk?" said Kaoru.
Kyouya chipped in "doubtful, they switch the desks out every year."
They continued muttering, and I could see Haruhi getting pissed off.
She snapped at them, and no sooner had the twins told her to chill and that we wouldn't get caught, we heard an adults footsteps coming down the hall.
Mori quickly had me off his shoulders and sat me on the floor, while everyone else ducked. But the twins and Tamaki kept muttering, so Haruhi had to tell them to zip their lips.
I crawled to the back of the class while Haruhi looked out for the professor, and I saw a photo that caught my eye. I grabbed Kyouya's attention by waving my arms madly and he came over to look.
"Well, here is something interesting."
Apparently, Shiro is in the classical music club, and he plays piano. So obviously with Tamaki doing the thinking for the group, we went to the music club right away.
* * *
I looked through the window and saw Shiro watching a girl play piano. A lot of people were watching actually, and I could hear the music.
"That's Mozart... for two piano's."
I thought I had been thinking that, but when Tamaki turned to me with a slightly surprised look on his face, I had to hold up my hands and spill.
"I play piano... kinda. Since I was eight actually."
He just looked at me, then back through to the girl.
Eventually Shiro saw us, and came storming out to tell us to get lost. Tamaki picked him up and told us it was time to leave, so Mori scooped me up again (for god knows how many times today) and we went back to our campus.
* * *
Back in the club room, Shiro spilled everything, and for the first time since the Yabu incident, Tamaki sounded clever. He tole Shiro upfront that he could come to the club seeking to make one woman happy, when they could only teach him to please the masses. He would have to be a man and tell her how he feels.
"That piece she was playing. It was Mozart Sonata in D major for two pianos, isn't it?"
Shiro looked up, stunned, then Tamaki turned to me.
"Are you familiar with the piece Saori?"
"Um... yeah, I did it for my GCSE music solo piece last year in school. I considered doing It for ensemble, but no-one else could play it."
He smiled, then helped me get to one of the two grand pianos on the other side of the room. Shiro followed, and watched in awe as we played; and considering we hadn't practiced together and I hadn't played it in a while, we did pretty good.
Tamaki told Shiro that from then on, he would come for lessons with him and myself (if I was willing) morning, recess, dinner and after school to learn that piece in a week.
I'm glad to say, he turned up for each one, and always did better each time.
Then one weeks later, just a day before Hina left, we invited her to come and play piano with him.
We opened the door to her startled face;
"Welcome princess, we've been waiting~"
Tamaki stood forward and bowed.
"We present to you, Shiro Takaoji's piano recital."
And they sat, and they played wonderfully.
* * *
After they had gone, and we tidied the pianos up, Tamaki and Kyouya turned to me.
"Why didn't you tell us you could play piano?" asked the blond.
"I didn't think it was important... it's just piano."
Tamaki's face dropped and he gawked at me in shock.
"J-just piano?!"
"Yes."
He sulked and walked away, the Kyouya turned on me.
"Just piano? That's a little harsh. Don't you feel anything when you play?"
I stared at him for a moment, before smiling.
"Yes, I feel as if I can feel the music, like it's flowing through my fingertips and that when I play, part of my soul is being lifted. But like I said , it's just piano, until you do something with it."
Hikaru turned to me.
"You're one weird girl..."
